If its existence isn't of an importance to the "progressive" agenda, it is insignificant.
History be damned, we're building high-speed rail that nobody will use here!

Imagine if this sort of tunnel were found on our border, as we tried to build a security fence.
Think the fence would go ahead as planned?

It’s a specially designed steam engine that operated underground. Often referred to as a thermos bottle, the engine did not produce an outpouring of steam in the tunnels under downtown Dallas.

Sorry... I don’t know how to make the link active.

I imagine a century-old raisin is pretty wrinkly.

I was told that it was found after a watermain break occured and a flood event resulted. They poked a hole in the wall and took pictures of it. There are monitor wells in downtown around the site. I install UST’s for a living and did some work at AT&T. The tunnel is north of Jackson. Well part of it.
